2 Men Indicted in Campground Arsons

Jacob Castle, 20, of Claridon Township, and Jay Burba, 20, of Montville, face several charges including of aggravated arson, burglary and vandalism in the case, according to the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office.

According to their indictments, the charges were in connection with an Oct. 19 incident. Firefighters were called to the campground where several campers were vandalized and a cabin was burned to the ground.

A week later, firefighters were again called to the campground to put out several trailer fires along with a fire at a permanent building used as a pool house and game room. That incident was not included in Castle’s and Burba’s indictment.

Castle and Burba will be arraigned on Friday in Geauga County Common Pleas Court.
